Bridgeport man arrested after knife threat

BRIDGEPORT -- A 29-year-old city man was arrested after allegedly threatening a woman with a knife at local bar.

Police were called to The Legends bar, 1653 E. Main St., Bridgeport, shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday on report of an intoxicated man with a knife causing a disturbance. When police arrived, a woman told them that a man, later identified as Everton Stewart, of Goddard Street, had walked into the bar with a bottle of beer. When the woman told him he couldn't bring beer into the bar, he allegedly pulled out a 5-inch knife and told the woman that he brings beer into the bar all the time. She called the police and Stewart fled. Eventually, he was found walking on East Main Street, toward Boston Avenue. Police found the knife on him and charged him with carrying a dangerous weapon and threatening. His bond was set at $2,500.
